letting go

I happened to stumble upon a post this girls blog here

Vivian's blogspot

I give credit to her for making such a post, it really gave me a wake up call

(hHAHAHAHAHA, leong just corrected me that it wasn't made by her, Its from some forwarded email drifting off the net and I just recently received it, waht LOL!)

it really foots the bill.

I'll provide a full translation along with the original text.

the title goes as:

爱一人

I love someone

and this is what it contained:

如果你不爱一个人,
If you do not love a person,



请放手.
please let go.


好让别人有机会爱她.
so that other people would
have the opportunity to love
her.



如果你爱的人放弃了你,
If your love abandoned you,



请放开自己,
please let go,



好让自己有机会爱别人.
so that others can love thee.



有的东西你再喜欢也不会属于你的,
there are things you do not
want but stays with you,




有的东西你再留恋也注定要放弃的.
there are things you
cherish but you're doomed
to give up.



人生中有许多种.
there are many paths of life.




但别让自己为一种伤害.
but do not inflict pain upon
oneself.




有些缘分是注定要失去的,
some are fated to have a loss,





有些缘分是永远都不会有好结果的,
some are fated to never have
a happy ending,




爱一个人不一定要拥有,
love doesn't necessarily need
the person to be by their
side,




但拥有一个人就一定要好好的去爱她.
However, a person must be
dedicated in loving her.



男人哭了是因为他真的爱了.
A man cried because he
loved his beloved.



女人哭了是因为她真的放弃了.
A woman cried because she
had to let go.








如果真诚是一种伤害,
If the pain caused
is sincere,



我选择谎言;
I choose to lie;



如果谎言一种伤害,
If a lie causes pain,



我选择沉默;
I choose to remain silent;



如果沉默是一种伤害,
If silence is a type of
pain,



我选择离开.
I choose to leave.






如果失去是苦，
If the loss is too much
to bear,



你怕不怕付出?
Can you face what you
had done?



如果迷乱是苦，
If you're too confused,



你会不会选择结束,
You are not left with an
option,



如果追求是苦，
If it is hard to pursue,




你会不会选择执迷不悟 ,
You will not choose to be
stubborn,



如果分离是苦，
If the separation is hard,




你要向谁倾诉?
Who can you express to?




好多事情都是后来才看清楚,
Only later on many things
are cleared up,



好多事情当时一点也不觉得苦!!!!
At that time,realizing
that all was not bitter!





I sure hope my translation was enough to understand and I credit to whoever made this, its beautiful
